October 1st 1928
“I’m sorry, Al. I’ve discussed it with my doctors and with Eleanor.”

“I need time to recover, Al. I can’t run.”
“But I need you. You can win New York and push it in my direction in the presidential election.”
“You’ve said all of this before, Al. The answer is still no; I will not run if nominated.”
